When your name is on the roll you are a member.
The troubling part is this was in 1828 long after the first vision command to join none!

BLAINE: I ecall this being discussed. What I recall is something about JS being reproved by a Baptist minister, whose church JS had been attending with his sister. JS was not baptised as I recall, he just had his name put on the rolls by the minister, then had it taken off again later on.

Where did you come up with that, DavidM?
Don't you remember me raising this point some years ago here on TruthTalk?

Thanx for digging it up again, DavidM. I'll run it through an LDS forum to see if anybody can enlighten me more on it.
I read this in, "Joseph Smith and the Origins of the Book of Mormon," by
David Peruitte, second edition, 2000, www.mcfarlandpub.com.

On page 29, he writes, "Arriving at the residence of the Smith family and
finding that Joseph was not there, they asked Joseph's father to tell them
the story of the discovery of the plates. The elder Smith complied, and
while doing so he described some early events in his son's life, including
the digging of a well, that, from other sources, it is known Joseph had dug
in 1822. About two years after digging the well (Lapham related the father
as saying), Joseph 'became concerned as to his future state of existence,
and was baptized, becoming a member of the Baptist Church.' Two years after
1822 would be 1824, the same year in which occurred the revivals started by
Mr. Lane."
The footnote here references the following source:
Fayette Lapham, "The Mormons," Historical Magazine, Vol. 8, 2nd Series, No.
5 (May 1870), pp. 305-306.
Peace be with you.
